DBFF - Natural Change
8:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Fri, Jan 24, 2025
The Denton Black Film Festival 
Dallas based Natural Change has been thrilling crowds for over 20 years. This soulful band has developed a signature sound that is as unique as their four personalities. One listen and you get swept away in a storm of Smooth Jazz, Modern R&B and Soul.
Paul, Tony, Rob and Byron are more than a band, they are musical brothers!
Reservations
Saxophonist/leader Paul Rogers delivers lyrical melodies along with an obvious knowledge of the jazz idiom. Added to the silky smooth vocals of keyboardist, Tony Blaine and you begin to get transported to a blissful space. Rob Abbs tasteful, yet blistering guitar playing serves as an elixir to the band’s sound. His sound can go from a blaze to a breeze in an instant.
All great bands depend on the anchor of a solid groove and drummer Byron Fuller leaves no doubt when maintaining that all important “pocket”. Together, this “Quartet of Brothas” takes the audience on a musical journey that few have been before. Natural Change maintains a performance schedule of over 150 shows per year. Members have shared the stage with a Who’s Who in music including Eric Roberson, Gregory Porter, Johnnie Taylor, Yarbrough and Peoples, and many others. No wonder they remain at the top of the list in the Lone Star State and beyond.

Davy Mooney Album Release
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Wed, Feb 5, 2025
Album Release Event with Davy and Ko Omura.
The world of jazz music has become an ideal place for collaborations between musicians from different lands and cultures. The practices of songwriting and improvisation reach beyond barriers of different languages. Guitarist Davy Mooney has long embraced having a global community in music, finding musical homes in Brazil and Japan. It was in Japan where he met a favorite musical foil, drummer Ko Omura.
Mooney and Omura’s kinship formed around a balancing of contrasting styles. Mooney’s music is often darker and highly structured, while Omura’s compositions are warm and freely played. Omura’s music is inspired much by his study of Indian music and the tabla. Both musicians are highly adept melodists, writing singable tunes that pull listeners in.
Join Davy on Guitar, Ko on Drums, Dave Meder on Piano, and James Driscoll on Bass.
